Aliens Don't Like Cities

This UFO Sightings Map has only two classifications. The yellow markers show UFO sightings which took place in urban areas and the white markers show sightings in non-populated areas.

We might expect that there would be more UFO sightings in populated areas than in non-populated areas. Common sense suggests that the more people there are then more likely there are to be UFO sightings. However the map seems to suggest that there are more UFO sightings reported in non-populated areas.

Some might argue that this is because non-populated areas are less effected by light pollution and therefore celestial events (like meteors burning up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere) are more likely to be noticed. I like to think however that aliens just don't like people and therefore avoid the most populated areas.
